Boating Magazine Review:

Teeming with stowage, integral speaker mounting flats and armrests, the sculpted fiberglass panels that ring the cockpit of Monterey’s 234SS provide the cohesive look and ergonomic functionality of a touring automobile. They’re a unique treatment — seeing as most runabout builders cut holes in the liner and then upholster them — and one I applaud. The panels look great and provide easy cleanup in the short term. For the long haul, tears, rips and fading, long the bane of runabout aesthetics, have been minimized or eliminated.

Service access to the engine stood out, but the 234SS possesses other details that impressed me. The four-step ladder deploys deeper in the water than most, easing boarding. The cockpit drains are integral to the aft lounge base, not separate fittings, so they allow quicker drainage and nicer looks. Hinges and hardware are through-bolted; where the fastening is blind, T-nuts are used; security is assured. The helm is nonglare. There’s another four-step ladder in the bow.

Eye candy aplenty exists in the form of the square-shaped latches, oval-section rails and overall angular “edge” styling that has become the signature look of Monterey’s SS series.

For all of this, Monterey’s 234SS stands out as one of the few distinct boats in a size and type that have regrettably been reduced to commodity status.
